Ingabe lezi zimoto zikagesi ezincane, ezingabizi zingasindisa amadolobha aseMelika esihogweni seSUV?

Njengoba izimoto emigwaqweni yaseMelika ziba zinkulu futhi zisinda minyaka yonke, ugesi uwodwa ungase unganeli.Ukuze sikhiphe amaloli amakhulu nama-SUV emadolobheni ethu ngokuphromotha izimoto zikagesi ezithengekayo nezisebenza kahle, i-Wink Motors esungulwe eNew York ikholelwa ukuthi inempendulo.
Aklanywe ngaphansi kwemithetho yeNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) futhi ngenxa yalokho asemthethweni ngaphansi kwemithetho yemoto enesivinini esiphansi (LSV).
Ngokuyisisekelo, ama-LSV izimoto ezincane zikagesi ezithobela isethi ethile yemithetho yokuphepha eyenziwe lula futhi esebenza ngesivinini esikhulu samamayela angu-25 ngehora (40 km/h).Zisemthethweni emigwaqweni yase-US enejubane elifinyelela kumakhilomitha angu-35 ngehora (56 km/h).
Siklame lezi zimoto njengezimoto ezincane zedolobha.Zincane ngokwanele ukuthi zingapaka kalula ezindaweni ezimpintshana njengamabhayisikili e-e noma izithuthuthu, kodwa zinezihlalo ezivaleke ngokuphelele zabantu abadala abane futhi zingashayelwa imvula, iqhwa noma esinye isimo sezulu esingesihle njengemoto enosayizi ogcwele.Futhi ngenxa yokuthi zisebenza ngogesi, awusoze wadingeka ukhokhele igesi noma udale izikhithi eziyingozi.Ungakwazi ngisho nokuwashaja elangeni ngamaphaneli elanga ophahleni.
Eqinisweni, phakathi nonyaka odlule nengxenye, ngiye ngaba nenjabulo yokubuka i-Wink Motors ikhula ngendlela ecashile ngokunikeza iseluleko sobuchwepheshe ngomklamo wemoto.
Izivinini eziphansi nazo zizenza ziphephe futhi zisebenze kahle kakhudlwana, zilungele ukushayela ezindaweni zasemadolobheni eziminyene lapho isivinini singavamile ukweqa umkhawulo we-LSV.E-Manhattan, awusoze wafinyelela kumakhilomitha angama-25 ngehora!
I-Wink inikeza amamodeli ezimoto ezine, ezimbili zazo ezihlanganisa amaphaneli elanga ophahleni angakhuphula ibanga ngamamayela angu-10-15 (amakhilomitha angu-16-25) ngosuku lapho epakwe ngaphandle.
Zonke izimoto zinezihlalo ezine, i-air conditioning ne-heater, ikhamera ebuka ngemuva, izinzwa zokupaka, amabhande ezihlalo ezinamaphoyinti amathathu, amabhuleki e-dual-circuit hydraulic disc brakes, injini yamandla aphakeme angu-7 kW, ikhemistry yebhethri ye-LiFePO4 ephephile, amawindi kagesi nezingidi zezicabha, ukhiye. fobs.ukukhiya okukude, ama-wiper nezinye izici eziningi esivame ukuzihlanganisa nezimoto zethu.
Kodwa akuzona ngempela "izimoto", okungenani hhayi ngomqondo wezomthetho.Lezi izimoto, kodwa i-LSV iyisigaba esihlukile ezimotweni ezivamile.
Izifundazwe eziningi zisadinga amalayisense okushayela kanye nomshwalense, kodwa zivame ukuphumula izimfuneko zokuhlola futhi zingase zifanelekele ukuthola amakhredithi entela kahulumeni.
Ama-LSV awakatholakali kakhulu, kodwa ezinye izinkampani sezivele zikhiqiza amamodeli athakazelisayo.Sizibonile zakhelwe izinhlelo zokusebenza zebhizinisi ezifana nokulethwa kwephakheji, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwebhizinisi nokuyimfihlo njenge-Polaris GEM, esanda kuguqulwa yaba inkampani ehlukile.Ngokungafani ne-GEM, okuyimoto evulekile efana nenqola yegalofu, imoto kaWink ivalelwe njengemoto evamile.Futhi kwenzeka beza ngentengo engaphansi kwesigamu.
IWink ilindele ukuthi iqale ukudiliva izimoto zayo zokuqala ngaphambi kokuphela konyaka.Amanani okuqala esikhathi sokwethulwa kwamanje aqala ku-$8,995 kumodeli ye-Stroot yamamayela angu-40 (64 km) futhi akhuphuke afinyelele ku-$11,995 ngemodeli engu-60-mile (96 km) ye-Mark 2 Solar.Lokhu kuzwakala kunengqondo uma ucabangela inqola yegalofu entsha ingabiza phakathi kuka-$9,000 no-$10,000.Angazi noma yiziphi izimoto zegalofu ezine-air conditioning noma amawindi kagesi.
Kuma-Wink NEV amane amasha, uchungechunge lwe-Spriut luyimodeli yezinga lokungena.Kokubili i-Sprout ne-Sprout Solar ziyizicabha ezimbili futhi ziyefana ngezindlela eziningi, ngaphandle kwebhethri elikhulu lemodeli ye-Sprout Solar namaphaneli elanga.
Uma udlulela ku-Mark 1, uthola uhlobo oluhlukile lomzimba, futhi onezicabha ezimbili, kodwa one-hatchback nesihlalo sangemuva esigoqayo esiphendula izihlalo ezine sibe izihlalo ezimbili nesikhala esengeziwe somthwalo.
I-Mark 2 Solar inomzimba ofanayo no-Mark 1 kodwa inezicabha ezine kanye nephaneli yelanga eyengeziwe.I-Mark 2 Solar ineshaja eyakhelwe ngaphakathi, kodwa amamodeli we-Sprout eza namashaja angaphandle njengamabhayisikili e-e.
Uma kuqhathaniswa nezimoto ezinosayizi ogcwele, lezi zimoto zamandla amasha azinayo isivinini esiphezulu esidingekayo ekuhambeni amabanga amade.Akekho umuntu ogxumela kuthelawayeka ngokuphazima kweso.Kodwa njengemoto yesibili yokuhlala edolobheni noma ukuhamba ezindaweni ezingaphansi kwedolobha, zingase zifaneleke.Uma kubhekwa ukuthi imoto kagesi entsha ingabiza kalula phakathi kuka-$30,000 no-$40,000, imoto kagesi engabizi njengale inganikeza izinzuzo eziningi ezifanayo ngaphandle kwezindleko ezengeziwe.
Inguqulo yelanga kuthiwa yengeza phakathi kwekota nengxenye yesithathu yebhethri ngosuku, kuye ngokukhanya kwelanga okutholakalayo.
Kubahlali basemadolobheni abahlala emafulethini futhi bapake emgwaqeni, izimoto zingase zingaxhumeki uma zilinganiselwa kumamayela angu-10-15 (amakhilomitha angu-16-25) ngosuku.Uma kubhekwa ukuthi idolobha lami lilinganiselwa ku-10 km ububanzi, lokhu ngibona njengethuba langempela.
Ngokungafani nezimoto eziningi zikagesi zesimanje ezinesisindo esiphakathi kuka-3500 no-8000 wamaphawundi (1500 kuya ku-3600 kg), izimoto zeWink zinesisindo esiphakathi kuka-760 no-1150 wamaphawundi (340 kuya ku-520 kg), kuye ngemodeli.Ngenxa yalokho, izimoto zabagibeli zisebenza kahle, kulula ukuzishayela futhi kulula nokupaka.
Ama-LSV angase amele ingxenye encane kuphela yemakethe yezimoto zikagesi ezinkulu, kodwa amanani awo akhula yonke indawo, kusukela emadolobheni kuya emadolobheni asogwini ngisho nasemiphakathini yabantu abadala.
Ngisanda kuthenga iveni ye-LSV, nakuba eyami ingekho emthethweni njengoba ngiyingenisa ngokuyimfihlo ngisuka e-China.Iloli elincane likagesi elidayiswe eShayina ekuqaleni lalibiza u-$2,000 kodwa lagcina lingibize cishe u-$8,000 ngokuthuthukisa okufana namabhethri amakhulu, okomoya, nama-hydraulic blades, ukuthunyelwa (ukuthunyelwa kwendlu ngendlu ngokwako kubiza ngaphezu kuka-$3,000) kanye nezintela/izimali zamasiko.
U-Dweck wachaza ukuthi nakuba izimoto zeWink nazo zenziwa e-China, uWink kwadingeka akhe ifekthri ebhaliswe yi-NHTSA futhi asebenzisane noMnyango Wezokuthutha wase-US kulo lonke lolu hlelo ukuze aqinisekise ukuthotshelwa komthetho ngokugcwele.Baphinde basebenzise amasheke ezigaba eziningi zokuphinda baphelelwe umsebenzi ukuze baqinisekise ikhwalithi yokukhiqiza eyeqa ngisho nezimfuneko zokuphepha zikahulumeni zama-LSV.
Ngokwami, ngithanda amasondo amabili futhi ungakwazi ukungihlangabeza ngebhayisikili ye-e noma isikuta sikagesi.
Bangase bangabi nayo i-charm yeminye imikhiqizo yaseYurophu njengeMicrolino.Kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi abahle!
UMicah Toll ungumthandi wemoto kagesi yomuntu siqu, isithandi sebhethri, kanye nombhali we-#1 Amazon ethengisa izincwadi DIY Lithium Batteries, DIY Solar Energy, The Complete DIY Electric Bicycle Guide, kanye ne-The Electric Bicycle Manifesto.
Amabhayisikili e-e akha abagibeli bamanje bansuku zonke bakaMika yi-$999 Lectric XP 2.0, $1,095 Ride1Up Roadster V2, $1,199 Rad Power Bikes RadMission, kanye ne-$3,299 Priority Current.Kodwa kulezi zinsuku kuwuhlu olushintsha njalo.
